Chris Coons: ‘Quite Possible’ Tillerson Won’t Be Confirmed

‘We have questions whether we should be cozying up to a strongman of a country and not our business partner’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Yes, I think it's quite possible. When you've got senators like Marco Rubio and John McCain raising real questions about Russia's actions to try and hack our election. I'm calling for bipartisan hearings into the question of Russian influence on our elections and then challenging Trump's view that Putin is someone with whom we can do business. If you nominate someone who's done business with Vladimir Putin for years and, in fact, has received the Medal of Friendship from Putin, I think we have legitimate questions about whether we should be cozying up to a strongman of a country that is our adversary, not our business partner."
